Even better, that has been reflected in statistical production in every guard category; he can score, dish, swipe, drop 3s and even hit the glass. If he's going to take his game (both fantasy and NBA) to the next level, though, he will have to substantially increase his career 39.8 FG%. The addition of Lance Stephenson to the Hornets' backcourt could help by lessening the offensive pressure on Walker, thus improving his shot selection.

LOS ANGELES -- The answer to the question is obvious, especially if you know how Isaiah Thomas ended up with his NBA-themed name. But just to confirm: Thomas was asked Sunday if his father is a Los Angeles Lakers fan.

PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- Nobody likes navigating Los Angeles traffic, so old friend Doc Rivers was kind enough to open the doors to the Clippers' training facility in Playa Vista for the Boston Celtics on Sunday morning and save them at least one trip downtown.

CLEVELAND -- Whether you like him or not, there's no doubt that LeBron James has the whole superstar thing down.From the self-appointed "King" nickname that became universally adopted, to the "Chosen 1" tattoo he ripped from the cover of Sports Illustrated and had branded in block letters across his upper back from shoulder blade to shoulder blade, to the countless commercials he stars in, James has embraced the spotlight and welcomed it to follow him off the court.
